44 years as Reily Township Trustee Retired from the City of Oxford/Streets & Maintenance Division 50 year member of the Reily Township Fire Dept Currently serving as Volunteer Chief
I care about our community and want to make sure it continues to be a safe, well managed, and welcoming place to live. I enjoy serving the people, listening to their concerns, and working toward solutions that benefit everyone.
I have dedicated the past 44 years to serving as Township Trustee because I deeply believe in community, accountability, and making sure our residents have a safe, well-managed, and welcoming place to live.
Maintaining and improving township infrastructure, ensuring public safety, supporting community services, and also prioritize transparency and open communication with residents so that everyone feels informed and involved in township decisions.
I approach budgeting with a focus on fiscal responsibility. I explore opportunities for grants, partnerships, and other funding sources to reduce the financial burden on taxpayers. By planning strategically, setting clear goals, and regularly monitoring the township’s finances, I can work toward improving services and infrastructure while maintaining a balanced and sustainable budget.
I believe in building strong partnerships with neighboring townships, & the county, to share resources, expertise, and best practices. We can coordinate on road maintenance projects, joint emergency services, public safety initiatives, and community development plans to maximize impact while minimizing costs. By maintaining open communication, holding regular regional meetings, identifying opportunities for joint funding or grants, we can work together to solve challenges, enhance services.

To be able to give back to the community that has given so much to my family throughout the 40 years we have lived here. In my 40 year construction career I have gained an extraordinary amount of knowledge. I began my career in the trenches and worked my way up to supervising roadwork, bridges, wastewater treatment plants, underground utilities, commercial buildings and many other projects. From physically working the jobs to scheduling subcontractors, managing schedules and staying at or below budget, the experience I have will be a great asset for the future of Reily Township.
My top priority is continuing the great services our township offers its residents, especially our Fire Department and EMT Services.
